The snake-scale monster, which was being held down, was somewhat bewildered. Its head was being pressed to the ground by the other monsters, making a thud, and it was forced to kowtow.
A strange creature nearby asked, "How many times do you want it to kowtow? We'll make it kowtow right now."
Yin Xiu said calmly, "Keep kowtowing for now."
The answer was utterly boundless. The monsters silently felt angry for the monster on the ground, and then said to Yin Xiu, "Then you can kowtow for now!"
The strange creature on the ground: ? ? ?
What about the dignity of high-level dungeon bosses? So what if they die again? They can always revive! They'll be back in action in 180 days!
The monsters were unmoved by its struggles. Yin Xiu held his knife and blocked them from leaving, so they could only stay there, facing that cold gaze sweeping over them one by one.
"Now that I'm all this way, you can't just let me go empty-handed, can you? Hand over the tools before I make a move, and I might consider letting you go this time."
The monsters exchanged awkward glances and handed over their items. They were out of new items for the time being and had to wait for instructions from above. If they didn't hand them over, all the high-level dungeon bosses would end up in the Rebirth Spring overnight, and all the dungeons would collapse!
"Hand it over! We'll hand it over right away!" The monsters weighed the pros and cons and had no choice but to agree.
Who would have thought that just as this killing machine managed to get here, all these dungeon bosses happened to come and watch the show? Now look what happened, they've all been wiped out, and the monsters are starting to regret coming to watch the spectacle.
"No! Absolutely not!" the giant spider lily in charge of distributing the props stubbornly declared. "All the monster props are with me! We can't hand them over!"
Just as Yin Xiu was wondering why there was such a tough guy, he saw the monster next to him punch him and vomit a monster prop out of the mouth of the spider lily. "Then you should vomit out all the monster props first, and then turn them into props and go to him!"
Yin Xiu suddenly understood that the one responsible for distributing the props to the monsters was the so-called god who promoted the monsters, but at the same time, it was also the prop.
The fact that this item appears in the low-level dungeons he cleared means that only monsters related to those dungeons can be connected to it. The monsters around him are just there to watch the fun and have nothing to do with the Hunting Grounds dungeon.
"So you were that prop." Yin Xiu stared intently at the giant flower. The so-called god, the being that bestowed strange props, was originally a living prop. He gradually understood everything.
Players can transform into monsters through contracts, and monsters can be transformed into items. Regardless of whether they can actually be transformed into monster items, it seems they can be transformed into player items.
Thinking deeper, could the items used by the player actually end up in the hands of someone else through a series of processes?
His mind became clearer as he realized that players could transform into monsters through contracts.
There are deep secrets hidden in the bizarre world behind the dungeon.
A group of monsters stepped forward and pried all the strange props out of the spider lily's mouth before dragging the giant, dying spider lily to Yin Xiu's feet. "Actually, this is the prop. As long as you kill it yourself, you can turn it into a player prop. Don't be shy!"
"Kill it?" Yin Xiu lowered his eyes, staring at the giant spider lily lying on the ground, and said slowly, "Why is it different from you?"
The surrounding monsters were taken aback. "What's different about them? They're all monsters."
Yin Xiu slowly raised his eyes to look at them, his voice icy as he said, "A true monster doesn't need to be killed by hand to become a tool, so why should I kill it to obtain it?"
Ya Ya wasn't killed by Yin Xiu; she voluntarily became a prop to stay by Yin Xiu's side before leaving.
Killing the opponent is the only way to obtain the items they have bound, which is clearly a way for players to steal other people's items.
"Is it a monster? Or a player who has become a monster?" Yin Xiu's cold voice rang out in the lobby, but no monster answered.
After a moment of silence, the mayor's voice rang out from the corner, "It's a player who has turned into a monster. You can find the mark of the contract on it, but real monsters don't have that kind of mark."
Yin Xiu lowered his eyes and looked at the spider lily on the ground, which was beaten and unable to move. "Where is your contract mark?"
The red spider lily struggled to turn over, revealing the black butterfly on its back.
Yin Xiu narrowed his eyes, then looked at the nearest monster and pointed his knife at it, "Come here and take off your clothes! Let me see if you have any marks on your body."
He wanted to verify the monster's words, but the monster beside him was terrified. "Yin Xiu... I... I'm a monster! I won't submit to you!"
Yin Xiu's face darkened. "Are you taking it off or not?"
Before the monster could even respond, the town mayor, eager to try, declared, "I'm a real monster too, let me undress you!"
He couldn't wait.
Yin Xiu looked over with a cold face and said, "Get out."
This isn't just a real monster, this is real perversion.
The mayor was glared at and turned away. The other monster, with a knife pointed at it, had no choice but to comply. It took off its clothes, and indeed, there were no black marks on its body.
Yin Xiu silently looked at the spider lilies on the ground. "Did you choose to become a monster?"
The spider lily swayed wearily. "Being a player is too tiring. Every dungeon is terrifying. Monsters kill me, and other players steal my loot. I don't want to live like that anymore. I might as well give up being human and become a special existence in a dungeon."
Yin Xiu's eyes were indifferent. "After you gained power, you just helped the monsters keep killing players?"
The spider lily shuddered violently, as if struck on a sore spot. "What else can I do! The players can no longer accept my existence! I can only survive by becoming a monster! Isn't helping monsters a matter of course?! Only here can they accept me!"
"You chose to give up being human, so don't blame the players for not accepting you." Yin Xiu coldly raised his knife.
"There is someone like you who gained strange powers, but he did not give up being human. Instead, he chose to use this power to save more people. You are the opposite. You used your power to kill more people who still had hope. If you understand the game, you should know who I am talking about."
The red spider lily slowly withered. "I know... I know... because when I was still human... he saved me too..."
"But he's dead... If I became like him, I'd die too!"
"Yes," Yin Xiu replied casually, "So even if you gain the power, you can't become him, and…"
"You will still die."
